Lifestyle Etiquette

What To Wear

Lifestyle events have their own dress culture, and understanding it helps you feel confident and fit the vibe. When in doubt, dress a little bolder than you would for a normal night out.

Meet-and-greets and social nights: smart-casual works. Think date-night outfits — a nice dress, fitted jeans and a great top, something that shows you made an effort. These events are about conversation, so aim for approachable and attractive.

Club nights and themed parties: events often publish a theme — "black and sexy," "lingerie night," "tropical pineapple." Participating in the theme is part of the fun and shows you read the room. If there's no theme, default to sexy and put-together: fitted dresses, sleek tops, statement accessories.

Hotel takeovers: pack layers. Daytime is casual — swimwear, sundresses, comfy clothes. Evenings dress up. Late-night play rooms often mean easy-off clothing, so think about what's simple to slip out of and back into.

Lifestyle resorts: daywear is swim and resort casual; many resorts are clothing-optional around the pool. Bring a cover-up for dining areas.

A few universal tips: wear confidence above all. Choose outfits that make you feel sexy and comfortable — not ones you'll fidget in all night. Bring a backup outfit in case something rips or spills. And add a pineapple accessory — a printed tee, a mask, a necklace, a pin — to signal you're in the lifestyle without saying a word. That's where our lifestyle apparel and masquerade masks shine.
